Our picks
The four we would actually buy
Buying guide
Find your shape
In padel the head shape decides where the weight sits - and that decides everything else.
Round
Low balance, huge sweet spot. Forgiving on mishits - the default for a first racket.
Teardrop
Balance in the middle. Enough punch for the bandeja, enough control for the wall.
Diamond
Weight high in the head. Brutal smash, small sweet spot. For players who finish points.
